Anhörungsbegleitung & Klagebegleitung
We prepare refugees for Anhörung at the BAMF or in legal proceedings before an administrative court
Asylum seekers in Germany often have too little information about the progress of their asylum procedure. They often do not know what they need to pay attention to during the Anhörung at the BAMF and – in the event of a lawsuit – during the hearing before an administrative court so that their individual situation is recognized and taken into account
Anhörungsbegleitung
The ArrivalAid Anhörungsbegleitung qualifies volunteers to prepare refugees intensively and individually for the Anhörung at the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF). If necessary, a translator will be called in. We also support you in filling out the questionnaire with the accelerated procedure.
Klagebegleitung
At ArrivalAid Klagebegleitung to volunteers in terms of content and practical training in the most important steps after the rejection of asylum applications and the subsequent legal action process. The offer of Klagebegleitung includes an individual conversation in which the individual steps of the legal action process are explained to the asylum seeker. We will once again look at the reasons for fleeing, based on the minutes of the Anhörung and the BAMF's rejection.
